The Lake District is, without a doubt, our favorite place in the UK
thus far. Located in the north west section of England, near the
Scottish border, it has a few mountains, lots of hills (called fells),
a bunch of scattered lakes, and an abundance of sheep and stone walls.
If you ever come to England you really should head up there. It is widely considered to be the most beautiful area in England and I would put it on the Top 10 list of things you must see while in the UK. Fun fact of the day: the story of Goldilocks originated from this region. Bet you didn’t know that!
As I explained in a previous post, after our first couple hours in the
area we decided that there was way too much to see and do so we got a
room at a bed and breakfast and made it a weekend trip. It was as
amazing weekend and a great memory.
Our Photo Tour:
Here’s what the drive in looked like. Green rolling hills, stone walls, and sheep in abundance.
Loved the sheep!
Looking for Babe.
This is Beatrix Potter’s home. After she died she gave around 4,000 acres of land in the Lake District to England’s National Trust so that it would always remain untouched and beautiful.
I looked in here for Peter but apparently he’s learnt his lesson.
Not a bad view to wake up to every morning.
We went to this amazing gingerbread shop located inside William Wordsworth’s old school house.
It tasted soooo good :)
Wordsworth’s grave
We went on a hike Saturday evening to watch the sunset. Behind G is the town we stayed in- Ambleside.
I loved the ferns.
